Your Brain on Yoga

When you do yoga, you’re not only giving your body a workout. As you move through breathing exercises, poses, and even relaxation, you’re actively stimulating your brain, too.

This infographic will give you an introduction to the parts of the brain, their functions, and how each part is exercised during your yoga practice. Just like the rest of your body, your brain gets stronger the more you use it, so getting your body and brain in motion with yoga can help support a healthier you.
